Understanding Document Status Inquiries

PeopleSoft Purchasing enables you to quickly cross-reference documents within a business process stream using a single known value in the stream.

For example, you may want to see the requisitions, request for quotations (RFQs), return to vendors (RTVs), and receipts associated with a purchase order.

From the menus for these transactions, you can view all of the procure-to-pay documents associated with their respective sources:

• Requisitions.

• RFQs.

• Purchase orders.

• Receipts.

• RTVs.

• Contracts.

• Associated vouchers and payments (if you're using PeopleSoft Payables).

• Strategic sourcing events (if you're using PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing).

• Work orders (if you're using PeopleSoft Services Procurement).

• Material stock requests (MSRs) and inter-unit receipts (if you're using PeopleSoft Inventory).

• Workflow routings (if you're using PeopleSoft Workflow).

You can also access the document status inquiry from within each individual transaction.
